Hi parents,
Today was an awesome way to end an exceptional week. The students completed the spelling quiz with confidence and clearly benefited from the extra practice. I guess there's no such thing as too much practice when it comes to spelling.
We completed our Colour Monster activities today, by combining yesterday's writing with a colourful illustration. The end result looked fantastic. I'll be sending them home next week in November conference envelopes as an example of 'assessed work'. But here are a few examples to give you an idea of how nice they look!
We went outside for gym / recess time, and did Daily 5 when we came back in. We also talked about how 'Noodles and Bowls' can easily be transformed into other fun multiplication strategies, such as 'Fries and Buckets', 'Fish in Lakes', 'Cookies and Chocolate Chips', 'Pizzas and Pepperonis', etc. I think this discussion and activity helped reinforce the idea that multiplication is essentially just groups of equivalent quantities. Hopefully this will also help them see multiplication in the world around them, because just like patterns, it's everywhere.
Stay tuned for next week's spelling words, and have a nice weekend,
Zac
